The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines self-confidence as "a feeling or consciousness of one's powers or of reliance on one's circumstances." Simply put, self-confidence is a "feeling" or awareness of our abilities. While I don't necessarily disagree with this definition, I believe our confidence comes from the Almighty. It comes from the inside out and assures you that you can do anything through Him and with His grace. So, when we have self-confidence, I mean when we truly have it, you know WHO you are and WHOSE you are.

The unfortunate truth of the matter is that some of us trade our self-confidence in for what others think and feel about us. We begin to give weight to words that have the ability to penetrate the armor of our spirit. And just like that, we find ourselves in a dark place of self-doubt. So, I pose the question - "Who do you THINK you are?" I dare you to answer this out loud.
